The OffWestEnd Awards (OFFIES) have announced their nominations for 2026, celebrating independent theatre and recognising exceptional work across the Off-West End. Following the introduction of a streamlined awards framework last year for the ceremony, the OFFIES underwent their first full year operating using this evolved model. The structure has continued to bed in and develop, offering a clearer, more flexible way of recognising excellence across the wide range of forms, scales, and practices that define independent theatre today.
